Some narrations on the latecomer joining the Salah

Question

Can this narration be quoted?

It is narrated that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: “When you come to join the prayer and find us in prostration, then you should join in the prostration but should not count this prostration as a part of your prayer. Whoever joins late but completes one unit of the prayer, before the Imam straightens his back from prostration would be considered as having offered his prayers with the congregation, except that he must complete the part of the prayer that he has missed because of his late joining.”

“When you come to join the prayer and find us in prostration, then you should join in the prostration but should not count this prostration as a part of your Salah [as part of the obligatory sajdah for that rak’ah] and whoever catches one rak’ah, has got the Salah”

Imam Hakim (rahimahullah) has declared the Hadith authentic and ‘Allamah Dhahabi concurs. The words, ‘Whoever catches one rak’ah of the Salah has caught the Salah’ is recorded in Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim as well. (Sahih Bukhari, Hadith: 580 and Sahih Muslim, Hadith: 607)
